Can a team clean after the resident has moved or passed away?
Yes. A cleanup team can sort, clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family can set rules for photos, papers and keepsakes, and the work moves at the family's pace.
What is the fastest way to clean a hoarder's house?
A crew with enough people and a clear plan, working room by room. Going fast without the resident's agreement often backfires, though, and the home can fill again. Clearing exits and hazards first is the quickest way to make a real safety difference.
How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?
